In my opinion, the content on Biggerpockets is enough to start you out without paying extra for a mentor.

This is just my opinion, but the best way to find a mentor is at a meet up or somewhere without requesting one…and it’s a relationship, so it just kind of happens, without requesting it. 

You can meet mentors, clients, vendors, and more! 

Only those junior lienholders who were given proper notice of the sale would have their liens extinguished.

Im also open to shadowing somebody who would be willing to mentor me or even work as a partner.Once again any advice or tips that will get me to the next step will be very much appreciated.

Unfortunately, a good mentor isn't always easy to find.Think about it.

-They see themselves as wealth advisors, mentors, coaches, and consultants. 

or someone that could come in and be a private lender to lend the construction funds in a junior position?

I'll simplify:-Don't partner on your first deal - there's no reason to-Go to REIA meetings and network - don't look for mentors, look for colleagues, friends and references-Go turnkey if you want, but know that turnkey isn't passive - you own the property, you manage the managers, you own the decisions that get made-House hack-Refi your house hack, and house hack againReactions welcome

Secondly, I read RDPD years ago and it also got me motivated to find my mentor - which has proven fairly successful.
